THE STATE PRINTING.

The SENTINEL would like to see
every Democrat in the Legislature
vote without hesitation for JosEPHUs
DANIELS for Public Printer. Besides
being editor of the Raleigh Chronicle,
a paper which did heroic service for
the party in the past election and
which has done much towards foster
ing an industrial spirit in the State,
he is also editor of the Wilson Ad-
uonce and the Kinston Free Press.
These two last named papers are both
published in the Second District
which has an immense Republican
majority. 1t is from this District
that Mr. SIMMONS a Democrat, to the
surprise of all, was elected to Con
gress in the recent election. Probably
bis election is due, as much to the val
liant efforts in his behalf of these two
papers as to any other single in
fuence.
Ii party services are to constitute
the standard of award, in the disposal
of this piece of public patronage, we
think Mr.. DANIELS has amply attain
ed that degree Of political desert te
win for him the unqualified and I'M
animous support of every Democratic
member of the Legislature.
As editor in part of three popular
and prosperous papers, Mr.. DANIELS
is doing much towards shaping al
honest, dignifed, progressive, out
spoken, yet conservative spirit IN thu
State Press. He is one of our comins
men in North Carolina and the futur,
has in Store for him a life of useful
ness to his State and a career covered
with credit and distinction for him

The Raleigh Ne,os Observer an
nounces that reduced rates have been
secured over the railroads for the
benefit of those who will attend the
Farmers Convention" on the 18th.
This is Intentionally misleading. The
gathering which "our erratic contem-
porary" alludes to is the proposed
meeting of farmers in connection with
the assembling of the Board of Agri-
culture. whereas, what has heretofore
been purposely designated as the
Farmers Convention" in order to
distinguish it from the Board meeting
does not meet on the 18th, but has
been called to assemble ON January
26th at Raleigh. 1t remains to be
seen if the Neaos- Observer is fair
enough to correct its Intentionally mis-
leading statement.

CHRISTMAS.
BY NHLLIE OLDHAM.

Sweet Christmas chimes ring merrily and clear,
Joy-bells repeat the story of unchanging love
That echoing ages have been chanting long,
Taught by angel voices from the choirs above
Bleast promise that the Eden exiles kept
A lovely hope that closed gates could not bar,
The waiting earth had looked and listened
long
Till in the east arose the reckoning star.
And led the watchers where the hovering
hosts
Made wonderous music-a glad new song on
earth.
When first the morning stars together sang
Twas but prelude for the Christ-childs
birth.
The heavenly orbs hymned harmony divine
Since first they rounded into paths of light,
But now the day spring from on high bends
down,
Illumnes mortal dust, and sca:ters far the
night.
The theme no longer law, but redemption's
story,
| Sweetest anthem eyer heard by list'nne
''To guide staying feet into paths of peace
| Make melody eternal-the music of the
spheres.i

MANY of the colored readers of The
SENTINEL will be gratified to learn
that prominent coIored men of Bir-
mingham, Ala, have organized a
movement, towards the holding in the
above city, within the near future, the
Colored Peoples Worlds Exposition.
The enterprise has been undertaken
exclusively by colored men, and is
designed to illustrate the progress and
achievements of the colored race in
every department of life. The move
ment has been formally approved by
the City Councils of Montgomery and
Birmingham, by the General Assem-
bly, of Alabama through a joint me-
mortal to Congress, adapted recently,
and by the State Agricultural Soci-
ETY.. The directors of the enterprise
propose to ask Congress for an appro

Hon. JOHN A. LOGAN, United
States Senator from Illinois and Re-
publican candidate for Vice President
in 1884, died very suddenly at his res
idence in Washington City at about 3
o'clock Sunday afternoon, December
26th. In his death the Republican
party lsses one of its most prominent
and influential members. g While we
believe him to have been honest in his
convictions, he was bitter partisan,
aggressive and unrelenting. He pos
sessed great force of character and it
was due to this in great measure that
he rose from almost absolute obscurity
to great prominence in party and ma
ton,

A ROMANCE OF THE WEST.

Industry Made to Tell in an Unexpected
Way-Story of \ Ring.
There goes young man who has ro-
nance" remarked a well known citizen of
st. Paul to a reporter, as he Looked through
the window, young man Of perhaps 25
passed up First avenue, a remarkably hand
some lady leaning upon his arm. "Tell you
about its Certainly; only won't give you
the names of the parties, for if I did you
would print it and nearly every one in the
city would recognize in the couple two well
known Minneapolis people.
"Some years ago the young man worked in
one of the big mills and was looked upon a
good man in his position. One day a party
of ladies visited the mill, among them the
lady you saw him with. While looking at the
different things around the mill this young
wheat which was being stored valuable
diamond ring which had been presented to
her by her mother, who had died some years
before.
"Of course, tho young Lady WAS nearly
heartbroken and refused TO be cosnforted by
her friends This young man, who was
standing near when sho dropped the ring,
saw the whole thing and made up his mind to
recover the ring That evening, as soon as
his work was done, he went TO the bin in
which the wheat had been stored and there,
| accompanied by friend, sifted all the wheat
and placed it in bags 1t was nearly morn
| ing when ne found the ring. The wheat was
| then emptet' back into the bin and the young
man went Lune. When he went to worb
again he went to the head miller and sue
ceeded in being released for the day. Hi:
| next move was to dress himself in his bes
suit and return the ring to the owner.
ITO her he related how he recovered it
and by his pleading manners 50 eaptivatet
her that she invited him to call. This hi
did, and the friendship thus begun soo1
ripened into something stronger. The young
lady's father took a great liking to the young
man and gave his consent to q marriage ar
ranged between him and his daughter. Whe1
the marriage took place the young man lef
the mill and was started In business by hi
wife's father. He Is now worth about 500,
600 and can lay his good fortune to recover
ing the lost ring.n-St. Paul Globe.

OUR rHIRTY-FIFTH YEAR.


With this issue The SENTINEL
starts out upon its Tn irty-ffth
Year.
During the year just ended The
SENTINEL has enjoyed gratifying
boom and the new volume opens I'M
der encouraging auspices, notwith-
standing the great stringency in mon
ey matters during which periods,
newspaper subscribers usually inaugu-
rate a policy of retrenchment, and in
variably begin the ECONOMY by hav
ing discontinued a paper that costs
perhaps not more than a penny or
two a week. But this is popular
error which the future may be relied
upon to remedy.
The circulation of The SENTINEL
has very nearly DOUBLED within the
past twelve months, and We hope soon
to reach our 1000 mark, being but
little short of that now.
The advertising patronage of the
year has been not quite so volumnious
as the year previous, but advertisers
approaching our growing circulation
have willingly paid more for their
space.
We propose to make THE SEN1I-
MEL credit to the community in
which it is published, and whatever
success it has already attained and ex-
poets to attain in the coming years,
whatever the plaudits it may have re-
ceived from itss friends among. the
metropolitan journals, and the atten-
ton it has thereby called to the vigor
and upbuilding of its home place, will
reflect upon the enterpriseaand liber-
atty of the Twin City. Nothing
serves to index city's growth and
prosperity, and the individual enter
prises of its business men so much as
its leading newspaper. For example,
the Constitution is the living exponent
of Atlanta's remarkable progress, and
probably this very progress is due to
few other influences than those which
this vigorous paper has ever welded
for the welfare of the Gate City. -. -.
The literary standard of The SEN
TINEL will be maintained during the
coming year and it is with pardonable
pride that we refer to the fine array
OF talent presented by our long list Of
distinguished contributors, most Of
whom stand among the brightest
minds in the State. These will con
tribute to THE SENTINEL during
1887 and others will be added. The
publication of a serial story by 6
North Carolina writer was new de
parture among the weekly journals o
of the State and Miss JONES novelett,
will be followed in this number by tn
opening chapters of a very interesting
story by Mrs L. E. AMIs, anothe
talented North Carolinian, for whom
the future has many literary triumphs
Those of our readers who fail to rea'
; the opening instalment of this enter
tanning serial, in justice to the fai
. authoress, should not take 'sna
judgement as to its merits.
There are many new attractions W
propose treating our readers to durin
the year and no effort shall be spare
| in making The SENTINEL a welcom
visitor at every Preside in our ow
r community and throughout the State
: To all of our readers we wish
happy and prosperous New Year.
